The second picture is of an 08 model.
says 07 on advert.. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/508554.htmJust wondering, if it's worth having an 07 over an 06.. other than just because one is a year younger?
Contrast stitching is just an option. However, the seats themselves changed dramatically pre-07. Now roomier across the shoulders, perhaps to cater for the increasing size of occupants. Now rounded side squabs. Better (for me) support but it's all a matter of personal ergonomics. Jump from one seat to another and the difference is easy to spot. Less easy if there is days/hours between seatings.
Could be wrong but ... my 07 has got Bluetooth integration but I do not think earlier models had this available as an option.
The Satnav in the 07 is pounds better than in the 06 ... sorry - that was just a fantasy moment - it's pants in 07,08 and the 4.7 won't be much better but I haven't got in one of those yet.
Other than incorporating the fixes (gearbox, belt/pullies, shims to quieten squeaky brakes) from previous MY cars I am not aware that there were any substantive mechanical changes twixt 06 and 07.
No doubt others more eagle-eyed than myself will spot other differences like the MY by WhoamI. Yes, I did notice the 06 was manual and the 08 Sportshift.
